This is a new wine shop appropriately located on the east side of town in the revitalized 11th street area. The shop itself is a cute, little renovated house. I ventured in on a quiet Saturday recently to check out the selection. The interior is quite and lined with floor to ceiling shelves of wine. They have representation from all the main regions - USA, France, Spain, Italy, Australia, etc. Generally, the wine is in a reasonable price range - I would say they probably average $20-$25, with a healthy portion in the $10-$20 range. A good strategy for the recession.... I definitely had quite a few of the wines in my own collection, and had tasted many more. They definitely seem to be going for authenticity - you could fine a mourvedre based Bandol, a classic Spatlese as well as pinot from Tasmania! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. If it was more convenient to where I live I would go more often. I would recommend checking out.
